Abstract
ABSTRACT
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of crustal strain measurements requires in situ sensor calibration. In this study, a seismogeodetic approach for the calibration of volumetric strain is introduced. The protocol, which relies on the dilatational character of Rayleigh waves, combines observational and theoretical analyses based on the near-surface properties of the Rayleigh wave vertical seismic acceleration. The calibration coefficient is estimated for a Rayleigh wave dominant period of 15–20 s using strain data and strong-motion records of acceleration from 62 global events (Mw≥7). The approach shows a good agreement with tidal calibration estimates for a Poisson ratio of 0.22–0.27 and Rayleigh wave phase velocity of 3–4 km·s−1. The protocol is straightforward, it requires no sophisticated simulation but only the numerical comparison of a similarly located accelerometer, and offers an alternative or a complement to tidal calibration.
